True Detective: The Long Bright Dark

Spoilers. Obviously. If you don’t want spoilers, tough.
I’m a little behind on this show, but that’s changing. Fast. True Detective revolves around two, shockingly enough, detectives in Louisiana reliving a case from 1995 to police almost ten years after the fact. This premise begs a few questions: How did the case resolve? Why are the police asking these two guys (played by Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaghey acting their asses off) to recount something that they already have files on? Who did this horrible crime?

The problem these days is the internet goes crazy with theories and rumours and we as a community put so much effort and thought into it that our predictions become better than what the script actually ends up as. Same happened with the UK version of Sherlock where Sherlock jumps of a building and dies but then is alive- the internet theories by fans were so good that the show changed it's actual story so now we don't actually know how he faked his death
